The Guardian's Sword

With that in mind, Lillian could not care less and quickly grabbed Frederic's hand,
saying, "Uncle Frederic, stop it. Mr. Lennon is Dorodo's city defense army's..."
However, Frederic interrupted Lillian with a cold snort before she could finish
speaking.

"So he's with the city defense army? Is he a big shot in the army? Ha, so what?
He has no right to flaunt himself in front of my Frederic! He can say whatever he
wants when he's the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army!"

Once Frederic finished speaking, Lillian froze instantly.

She had so many mixed emotions that she did not know what to do. It was
because Sean was the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army!

Just then, the shop door was flung open.

A young man in military uniform strode in, followed by two soldiers with
crossbows in their hands and swords hanging around their waists!

However, the young man and the soldiers he brought were not city defense
soldiers but belonged to the mayor of Dorodo, Quentin.

Quentin was the mayor of Dorodo, and his personal safety must be guaranteed.
Therefore, Quentin had a team of 30 personal bodyguards. These personal
guards did not belong to the city defense army. They were two separate systems.
The young man in the lead was the captain of Quentin's personal guards.

Sean and the captain of the personal guards had met at the banquet but did not
greet each other.

Sean recognized the captain of the personal guards, but he did not seem to
recognize Sean.

He walked past Sean and stood before Frederic and the other customers after
entering.

He said haughtily, "Oh, Mr. Douglas, business is booming! I heard you had a new
collection of antiques. The mayor asked me to come and have a look."

Frederic still looked furious when he talked to Sean, but he immediately smiled
when he saw the captain of the personal guards.

"It's you, Captain Hooter. Sorry for not waiting for you at the door. Sorry for not
waiting for you at the door! Here, here, here. This way, please. I've prepared
some antiques for the mayor. They're his favorite types.”

With that said, Frederic directed Captain Hooter to the most prominent spot in
front of the shelf.

The other customers shut up and said nothing.

"What's going on here?" Sean asked, looking at Lillian.

Lillian sighed helplessly before lowering her voice and explaining, "His name is
Tobias Hooter. He's the captain of Mayor Quentin's personal guards. Every once
in a while, he would come to Uncle Frederic's shop and say he's here to pick out
antiques for the mayor, but he never paid for them."

"He never paid?" Sean frowned.

He took antiques but did not pay for them. That was not buying but robbing!
How could the mayor, Quentin, have the captain and members of his personal
guards rob an antique store?

It was outrageous!

"Have you never complained?" Sean asked again.

Lillian looked even more helpless as she said, "Complain? Who should we
complain to? Quentin's the mayor. He's in charge of everything in Dorodo. He
asked the captain of his personal guards to pick up some antiques. What could
nobodies like us do?"

Sean was deep in thought once hearing Lillian say that.

However, there was suddenly a piercing noise of things breaking.

Then the captain of the personal guards, Tobias, shouted in displeasure. "Mr.
Douglas, come on. The mayor ordered me to patronize your business, and you
just gave me a few pieces of crap to call it a day. Are you trying to mess with the
mayor?"
